#Superman1978
The way Christopher Reeve nervously puts his hand on his grinning face is so adorable after saying “you’d be the first to know about it”
What a great actor, and he truly was Superman
You mean the director did a good job making him redo scenes until it's good enough for the movie
Lol you kids don't know shit lol.
As of al actors do everything in one shot everytime lol
By your logic Tobey is the best spiderman why are people saying tom is when he isnt?
Lol
Just because Reeve is dead doesn't you have to be nice lol.
Osama bin laden is dead and nobody pulls off for what he planned for 9/11 lol.
Why aren't people respect him?
Lol death toll is no excuse lol
@@bowens9211Huh. Christopher Reeves was said to be a real Superman was because he did not give up when was injured by the neck and started an organization to help people.
Don't call people kids when you don't know their age and mind what the hell you are talking about
@@aquapillareilleahpar3129 You kids don't know how to judge anything properly lol.
@@bowens9211 congratulations for accurately guessing my age! Anyways, how SHOULD I judge Superman?
@@aquapillareilleahpar3129 lol wanting to get taught how to judge characters lol.
Pathetic Asf lol.
“ I never drink when I fly”
*gets me every time*
Even though he is immune to it
1978
Superman 3 changed that about 5 years later.
@@KRS2000 Well it was the exposure to Synthetic Kryptonite made by Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor) that made him separate into two beings. Alchohol has no effect on Superman. He even had wine with Lois in the Fortress of Solitude in Superman II. The scene of him drinking in the bar in Superman III as evil superman had no effect on his body.
That moment when you realize He likes pink 🐈and not just the color. That’s why they both blushed lol
"But if i did you'd be the first to know about it"
Watch Lois melt.
Such a charming scene.
I think he was saying to Louis indirectly that he had a romantic interest in her and that made Louis quite nervous
@@Libanesa-km7iryes. That’s the point lmao
Also the first time he uses her first name, instead of "Miss Lane"
The chemistry they had together truly was magical. They played their parts so well it's hard to see anyone else playing Lois and Superman and not compare them to these two.
I could imagine Karen Allen from _Raiders of the Lost Ark_ playing Lois.
1978
They didn’t like each other in real life you know…
I do miss these two ; great actors . 😢❤
I watched this a bunch as a kid and later as a teen and all the adult innuendos went way over my head.
It’s realistic in the fact that women usually go for men who are elite in one way or another.
Richard Donner passed away today. Thank you for making us believe that a man could fly. RIP
That was the catch-phrase but Reeve making us believe he was both Clark and Superman is up there too.
exceptionally heartfelt
I like when he sits down at 1:15 how his cape gets caught on the arm on the chair and Reeve just casually moves it aside. It gives the scene a greater sense of realism when things like that happen. I think he was half expecting a cut there but realised they were gonna keep rolling so he kept in character like a pro.
No capes!
You can totally see that.
Im convinced Reeve was literally Superman who gave up his powers after he left the role. The man completely embodied Superman
Today that couldn't happen because the cape would be CGI, and when he sat down they would also replace the chair with a CGI duplicate so the CGI cape could interact with it more realistically. They would possibly also replace his arms and legs with CGI for the same reason.
He's wearing a fucking unitard and I can take this scene seriously. That is awesome.
Reeve is superman and always will be
Actually, he is dressed as a circus acrobat as described in the very early Superman comic strips, so he could be more agile.
That's Christopher Reeve in a nutshell, that man was _magic._
Christopher Reeve actually made the "Truth, justice, and the American Way" line work. :)
Only a true bad-ass could do that.
No i don’t have a girlfriend, but if i did, you’d be the first to know about it. I actually used that line on a girl and she had a big smile on her face after.
Margot Kidder passed away today! Rest in Peace Lois Lane ! Rest in Peace Lil Snupe ! RIP Proof !! Proof made song called "Lois Lane" go check it out NOW
RIP margot kidder plays louis lane died today x
Andrew Taylor im going to use that
What does he mean by that?
Luke Waters He means Lois would BE the girlfriend. Who else BUT the girlfriend would be the first to know about it?
When he says "Lois I never Lie". You know DAMN well that he means it.
Errr what about his denials of Clark Kent being Superman?
It`s not a Lie it`s a smokescreen :)@@chewieonyaboot317
@@chewieonyaboot317 Superman never lies. Clark Kent does.
That line delivery was fantastic.
@@chewieonyaboot317 I don't think he ever actually denies it, he just acts like it is crazy.
“I’m here to fight for truth, justice, and the American way.” There are very few performers that can make this line sound genuine.
Now all we need is Cavill to say it
Yet the Spanish subtitles say, "truth, justice, and liberty." The translator didn't dare say, "the American way"!
I think the line is flawed because of the American Way part, it just seems like it's saying the rest of the world is wrong and America is right when that just clearly is not always the case. I like the truth and justice parts though. The line in my opinion should be something like this, "Truth, Justice, and the Hero's Way".
Yeah Superman, forget the rest of planet earth and all the other countries! Just focus on the American way! lol
@@josephd.2725 sounds more like Homelander lol
In 2021 Directors would be reluctant to run a scene this long, too much chat, not enough action etc. However, here we have two actors at the top of their game creating a magical scene out of nothing & using their own ability to make a scene that is now legendry in the Superman franchise. RIP both of them.
😍😭
If this scene was used in a movie now, people would be calling that version of superman a pervert and sadistic throwing lois around and scaring the life out of her when flying and smiling about it.
Amen
wdym? Romance scenes between the two main characters is in plenty of films. Spiderman, Amazing Spiderman (and far from home to a small extent) had scenes of Peter and his love interest merely talking in a slower more casual pace. Synder Cut of Justice League (it wasn't a romance scene) but Lois talking to Martha, visiting the cop and meeting with Clark were all slower scenes to do with character. There are quite a bit of films that strive for action and bare minimum camera but they do still exist.
@@itwasfunnyatthetime dialogue and talking, these days (and at least since the 2010s) the general film writing out of Hollywood got sloppy and generic, then the woke stuff really crept in and so even though this is just a gentle flirty scene it would be lambasted.
As a kid my favourite scene was Superman flying up to catch Lois falling, but now as an adult - this is my fave. No special effects or CGI can create this kind of onscreen chemistry. Its magic has not aged a single day.
That's why Man of Steel with Henry Cavill is such a disaster
@@Libanesa-km7irWhich is a shame because there’s so much potential there yet it got wasted by the direction and writers
The best actor that ever played superman
IC BM yes he was born for that role. It’s actually so crazy that he fits every single detail.
I agree CHEERS
Because cavil character is still developing
Nope. He looks like scrawny teen, and the cape is too short
He was born to play him. Nobody comes close.
"How big are you -How tall are you?"
Kids didn't get that.
Do you eat ? Do you like pink ? Kids don't get that either.
Or they didnt let adults know they got it.
"I assume then that the rest of your bodily functions are normal?"
I didn’t when I was a kid and first watched this 🤣 When I was REALLY little I thought he was saying his name was Pink 😂

ليلة عيد
That is the sweetest interview I've ever seen in a superhero film.
When she asked "do you like pink" makes the scene 10x more romantic.
"Has problems with lead."
Yes Lois, write it down.
It's not like someone could use that against him or something.
I was going to say the exact same thing
Well Luther did that
Why in the hell would he tell her that anyway lol
Dude, you cant think when this guys around..
Lead is earth's version of kryptonite.
All these years later, no film or actor has come close to the spirit of superman. In this scene you can just feel the gentleness of superman, despite him being able to lift planets.
100%
For sure Batman. But you know it's fake right? LMAO kidding
Yes! Exactly!
Well said dark knight.
I think the scene in Superman and Lois where after catching a car, a kid says "Cool costume." and with absolute sincerity and pure wholesomeness, he says "Thanks, my mom made it for me." and then flies away.
"I don't drink when I fly."
His wittiness is definitely an additional superpower of his.
2:00 "I assume the rest of your body functions are...normal?" I bet people in the theatres laughed out loud.
I thought she was gonna ask "Do you have to take a shit, like the rest of us?".
@@hedgehog1965uk i still dont think he does
I thought she is going to ask if he would have a hard on if she gets naked..
We did. The theater I first saw it in was packed opening night. That line got a laugh and the "truth, justice..." line received a round of applause and cheering of recognition from the appreciative audience.
@@markmarderosian4025 LOL Epic
This was absolutely PURE magic. No CGI, no slick gimmicks. Just two professionals creating an image that will stand the test of time. To this day, the best pairing in the history of this genre.
Rest In Peace Lois And Clark.
This scene doesn't focus much
on them, but the film's fx
were supposed to be
groundbreaking for the time.
The tagline was
"You will believe a man can fly".
Admittedly, though,
all that wouldn't've
amounted to much
without the perfect casting,
the wonderfully
nuanced performances,
the sharp, witty writing,
the compelling action,
the gripping pacing
& the indelible score.
Deserving of its place
in The National Film Registry.
1977
Christopher Reeve was so handsome, and he did look like Superman. This scene is wonderful.
Yeah, but it's the "boy scout" mannerisms and politeness that really sell it.
‘If I did Miss Lane, you’d be the first to know about it’.... 😍 that look he gives her... swooon!! He was my first crush... perfect as Superman even to this day
Haha I am glad someone mentions it. Incredibly smooth while being polite at the same time. What a guy.
Rest In Peace Margot Kidder, she’ll always be the amazing reporter Lois Lane!
James' YouNiverse yes !both of them are now in heaven
...and Christopher Reeve.
James' YouNiverse What’s up James!
In our hearts.
RIP .... hope you find happiness, where ever you both are.
This is without question one of the greatest romantic interactions in any film ever simply due to the skill and chemistry between the two main performers. Most other actors would struggle to act out this scene in a way an audience would believe, but both Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder are so sincere in their inflections and in their awkward pauses that you totally want to see them end up together. From the beginning of this clip, to the classic flying scene, to the moment Clark takes off his glasses and hesitates to tell Lois the truth is one of my favorite scenes in any film ever.
Comme vous avez raison. J'ai vu cette scène la première fois au cinéma en 1978. J'avais 9 ans et j'étais tombé sous le charme de ce duo inoubliable. Tout est si précieux dans cette longue scène 🙏❤🙏
This scene is absolutely beautiful. This scene was telling us everything about Superman that most of us didn’t know before. Superman is the most human character in superhero history. He’s not just a guy with amazing powers. He’s a kryptonian who grew up in Kansas who turned into a man with a good heart.
He started out more simplistically.
The folklore just got added onto.
A beta simp?
A pervert who used his powers to see what knickers lois was wearing because he was horny.
@@The_Knight_Rider1980 okay, I think your semi joking, but she asked
@@kaimarquez8046 doesnt matter he still done it.
"No, I don't (have a girlfriend), but if I did, Miss Lane, you'd be the first to know about it."
::SWOON::
In other words, "You'd be the first to know because - YOU'D be my girl" ;-)
Diane Joyner My panties would've officially come off😄
+cdh0879 Lol!😄 Whoa! Slow down Annie Oakley! Shooting the gun a little early don't ya think?
@Starscream91 you don't get it because you have no EQ. Anyone with EQ would get anything
It's not about the content. It's about the context
AND IT'S A FLIRT JOKE. SRSLY NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. That's why Lois laughs. What are you schizoid? Pretend to laugh haha
@@cdh0879 Lois was wet 😁
The chemistry not just between the two characters, but also the actors is intense. RIP Margot and Christopher.
It's always touches me when two people are madly in love with each other and yet try to keep it to themselves. It makes for some really tender and funny moments and brings out the vulnerable child in all of us. Lois facial expression at 3:58 is so sweet and both of them had such great chemistry together. They play this scene perfectly with just enough innocence and naughty innuendos to convey how crazy they are about each other.
Yeah, naughty innuendos is right.... She Freudian slipped and asked him how big he is! LOL, that went right over my head as a 10 year old!
1977
One of the reasons Reeve sold his performance so well was his ease of movement; he goes from flying to standing and jumps down from that wall so naturally. He looks so comfortable with himself, as you would expect of a hero with the best physical prowess in the world; even the little cape-flick as he sits down is incredibly convincing. Reeve's suit might be very simplistic, but he doesn't plod around in it like some of the more padded-up Sups.
Fiona Tsang Those padded up suits look ridiculous IMO. 😏
you got this from a video essay
And he took and played it seriously.
ua-cam.com/video/ZB6wkxE_FeE/v-deo.html
HE IS RIDICULOUSLY HANDSOME!!!!!!!!!!!
The most comic accurate Superman
This scene would've been cringey af. But Christopher and Margot nailed it. He can say all this boy scout and super power stuff based dialogue in THAT bright spandex outfit in full character and confidence. First time I've fully watched this scene and I love it, every scene I watch with Reeve's Superman/Clark Kent puts a big smile on my face
He's really good about that. Like in Superman III, sitting in the living room with Lana. He makes it all seem natural, even in an old fashioned superhero costume.
It’s still cringey. I’m not blinded by nostalgia and I think the dialogue is cringe but it’s really endearing because of it.
Really cute scene.
@@ChadKakashi I didn’t grow up on this film and it played no significant part of my childhood so there’s no nostalgia for me here. It’s just genuinely good and charming
It works for that time, but you can't recreate it now
Aren't you basically saying the script was bad, and that it was just barely pulled off to not be bad simply because of two specific actors that you apparently like?
The seemingly-inadvertent yet somewhat blatant sexual references make this scene absolute gold. A perfectly-written scene, but it's Reeve's and Kidder's performance that make it pure magic.
hey most of the scene wasn't even written. the actors were given general points and they just improvised
All the blatant innuendo went right over my head when I was a kid, such as... "How big are you? I mean, how tall?!" lol. I think I would have giggled or felt embarrassed at the underwear question though!
Do you like pink? Lol so cute he likes pink very much 😊silly
@@layna-heyhey According to UA-cam comment sections, almost all films were entirely improvised
@@sabrina63 Christopher Nolan hated CGI so much that he actually allowed Anne Hathaway to shoot Tom Hardy in the chest with the Bat-Bike on Dark Knight Rises, so the fans could find his body later.
"I never drink when I fly." Such a cheeky, funny line. I can't believe I didn't catch it until recently.
"I never drink when I fly" 😂
Good advice, could you imaging a flying drunk?, far worse then a driving one, in fact it will remind me of that movie that Will Smith was in when he had super powers.
Frankly Superman flying drunk would give you a one man Superman vs Zod from Man of Steel. Metropolis wouldn't make it.
Peter Crean - Peadar Ó Croidheáin: No, it has something to do with his metabolism. Unless the drink is magic, then maybe.
Peter Crean - Peadar Ó Croidheáin He did in Superman 3 and he flew off after leaving the bar.
@@paul1979uk2000 hancock? Flying will smith. I still have that movie. It also has charms. I love christophers superman 123 movie im having second thoughts rewatching the 4rth. It was not that good.
He was the best superman and you all know it.
By far
If only he had the costume and CGI that henry cavil has
Reeve had no need for cgi to make everyone believe he could fly
Jared Johnson, he didn't need any of that modern stuff, Christopher did very well without all that !!
You live in a disconnected, myopic world, KKT
I've never seen someone as universally loved as Christopher Reeve and its just great to see that...he was simply the best
I completely agree and knowing he is so loved makes me so happy!
6' 4" & 225 lbs. is the perfect superman physique. And Hollywood couldn't write a scene like this today to save their lives.
You mean the director did a good job making him redo scenes until it's good enough for the movie
Lol you kids don't know shit lol.
As of al actors do everything in one shot everytime lol

You haven't read the comics at all or enough lol
Tron North neither have you I take it, super man is only 6”3
@@shewantthem.d.2243 Too short for superman.
Looks like a midget when comparing to 6'5 and robert wardlow
Tron North yeah that guy was the tallest person to exist of course he’s not going to be that tall. Super man doesn’t need to be huge it’s his abilities that make him who he is.
"How big are you? Er! How tall are you?" Lois, you fox ;D
Still cracks me up!
Never noticed that lol, when I was younger I just thought she meant weight or height something like that
Me, too. It took me about 15 years after I first saw the film (as a wee lad) to wonder why the adults always laughed at that big/tall line. :D
Jon Campbell I honestly never thought about it that way. Of course I was a kid when this came out.
Now I see it differently 😉
lol
Christopher Reeves eyes were so gorgeous. This is the Superman I grew up watching. I loved Brandon Routh and Henry Cavill as Superman but Christopher Reeves will always be my favorite
This is the sexiest PG rated thing I've ever seen
227060 Remarkable how
..attractive ..indirect indications of mutual attraction can be.✌
There was no "PG-13" rating back then.
@@CROSSTATT facts bro. I think it was around the mid 80s when the PG13 rating was invented
Lewis Bond IV You're correct, Lewis. The "PG-13" rating came out in 1984.
Eric Lehman pg 13 was invited when Indiana Jones temple of doom came out
“How big are you...how tall are you?!” LMAO! He plays this so innocently and perfect!
she wanted to ask: how tall are you when lying down
This is forever the most magical moment in the history of superhero movies. Rest In peace Christopher and Margot.
This will be the most memorable scene. Film students should study this scene and learn from it.

@@bowens9211 LOL LOL LOL!!! That's all I see in your stupid comment LOL
Every woman on Earth can totally relate to Lois’ reactions to Superman during this scene, especially at times where she gets breathless and kinda spaces out because everything about him makes her feel speechless. I love that feeling; the way someone makes you totally melt and you look at them all dreamy-eyed as if they are the only man on Earth. *happy sigh*
I'm a one man band on youtube. Hope you can enjoy one of my songs.
1978
Aww
I hear ya! If you are Elvis, Beatles or Sup...that tends to happen. The rest of us kick rocks. I legit have no idea what you are talking about, but it sounds grand!
Do they groan when they see Clank Kent again?
2:31-I always liked the sly little smile Superman gives here as Lois gets up from the table, showing that although he played dumb when she asked the questions, he knew exactly what she meant when she asked "How big are you?" and "Do you.....eat?".
He seems to follow her around like a puppy and copies her body language.
What did she mean?
@@goldenboy06 I’m gonna guess the questions are innuendos because she’s attracted to him

She's the most thirsty woman.
Sudeep Sarkar Understandably so!
What makes Christopher Reeve work this scene and throughout the movie is when he says, "I never lie." I was 24 when this movie came out and to me it has never been equaled.
I was thinking exactly that
Does Clark lie? I like to imagine what he would say in a Q&A session with President Bush leading up to the Iraq War.
I haven’t seen this movie in over 20 years and it makes me feel like a schoolboy. It’s so dreamy and romantic and you get completely swept away. You truly believe that Reeves is Superman
Same. I’m in my 30s and I have the Dopest smile on my face right now. This scene massages the brain.
They remove the red underwear in 2017 because it looks 'dated'. It's no less inherently silly here, but it works because Reeve was 100% confident in that outfit. Look at that Superman. Look. Now RESPECT.
Cse
Completely agree!
They are circus acrobat tights so he can be more agile as stated in an early issue of Superman. I think the line went something like this "Donning the dress of a circus acrobat.......
WRONG. SUPERMANS COSTUME NEVER CHANGES
They removed the red underwear years before 2017
"I never drink when I fly" that line is gold

It's amazing how much smoking has gone away in the last 20 years, too.
1977
Rest In Peace, Chris & Margot.
Superman'78 is the first film I ever saw.
It was 2003 I was only 3 yrs old. My Dad wanted to introduce me to movies and decided Superman '78 would be the best one. According to Him, I was totally in love with the movie and enjoyed it thoroughly. I still love it today and the chemistry between Chris & Margot is still unbelievably wonderful.
I'm here now, because I recently rewatched Donner's cut of Superman II.
I don't know, I just miss them...
May God rest their souls, They will forever be in my heart. Just as they were when I was growing up.
4:02 look at this shot.
No one has ever looked more like a superhero.
We were spoilt back then.
there will never be another superman like christopher reeves...he made superman a legend
This scene is so special.after almost 47 years i still get a kick out of it in a good way.
Award for the dumbest comment😏
He’s So beautiful such a beautiful person and man. Rest In Peace
To my knowlege this is probably one of the most subtle-but-strong romantic scene in the history of cinema.
And it's a wonderful life telephone scene... check it out it's amazing
He was so hot, those stunning blue eyes were so piercing against that sleek dark hair. The way he used to stare at Louis like she was the only girl in the world. That would make any girl melt! The OST of John Williams really makes these scenes so memorable and tranports us back in time, It truely was a masterpiece. The whole movie was a mix of comedy and action along with those emotional heartfelt scenes that ran throughout the course of the whole film. They sure dont make movies like this anymore. Such great chemistry from both of these fine actors, rest in peace to both of them.
From time to time I dye my hair from blonde to jet black as I am an Irish American 25 year old tall thin young man, and I have blue eyes to resemble Christopher Reeve, as he my #1 role model in addition to Robert Downey Jr. , Chris Evans, and Bradley Cooper.
He looked at Lana the same way. And in Superman 3- Clark checked out the blonde lady when she walked past him. 😛
.
Superman had a bad taste when it comes to woman. Lois looks like a female Ringo Starr.
Around the time
this movie was out,
I read that, upon being discovered,
Reeve wasn't much
of a muscle man,
but the studios/
casting agents, etc.
saw the jet-black hair,
square jaw & steel-blue eyes
& said something along the lines
of "Don't worry, kid.
We'll sew foam rubber muscles
into your Superman suit."
However, Reeve was dedicated
& thankful enough
that he spent several months
"gulping protein & pumping iron"
(as the article I read put it)
&, by the time production started,
his body was just as
prepared as his face.
Christopher Reeves was and will always be the most handsome Superman to ever play that part. He was so realistic in it!❤
Christopher Reeves was my favorite Superhero, in movies, and in life. I had such a crush on him growing up! I LOVE this scene!
Terri Hatcher was the best Lois Lane. Too bad they couldn't do it together.
The skyline looks fake, the costume looks like a leatord. YET this is one of the greatest comic book scenes of all time. Why? Because the character work and dialogue are so strong they make every single comic movie today look pedestrian. My god I love the MCU but this is timeless. If they could catch a single ounce of the magic that happened during this scene it would just be incredible.
[STARS]TyranT dont talk shit about the costume tho
[STARS]TyranT because he made you believe
Christopher Reeve made us all believe. Still chokes me up.
[STARS]TyranT I agree with you...accept about the costume, the suit is perfect
[STARS]TyranT It was the late 70’s so yeah they skyline looks dated but if you saw this as a kid you were blown away especially when he saves Lois from the helicopter and flies away from her on the roof I still prefer this over Snyder’s wet flat looking CGI with that Batmobile bouncing and hopping like a toy car with no real weight .
Christopher and Margot have awesome chemistry, Cute.
or maybe just talent. so rare nowadays its almost a superpower.
Almost all Clark and Lois actors had good chemistry between them except Henry Cavill and Amy adams
Nidhish m nair You forgot about Routh and Bosworth. Absolutely horrible chemistry.
so true! Both were so good. Christopher Reeve had done some stage work so he wasn't a total unknown, but Margot Kidder especially was a find.
@Nidhish m Nair shame they never got married in movie
RIP and long live Christopher Reeve (September 25, 1952 - October 10, 2004), aged 52
And
RIP and long live Margot Kidder (October 17, 1948 - May 13, 2018), aged 69
You both will always be remembered as legends.
I am 46 years old. We all were sad in my generation when they died. She was so touching and he was so good in this character of Superman. Of course it was my youth, but all the same, i so much prefered that time.
tears
God, this should _not_ be working. Chris is friggin' magical in this movie.
Omg...he was soooo handsome. . Those eyes are hypnotic
Can’t believe their both gone now. RIP Christopher and Margot. You’re both soaring through the sky.
Do you...eat?
YOU WILL.

Not only is he Intelligent, but he's also Wise. Great and Balanced choice of Words. 😊💯
The daily planet must pay very, very well for her to afford a place like that! Maybe I should apply?
I was thinking the same!
I was thinking the same thing!
She's one of their top reporters.
Different economy, lol
it is true ... living in a penthouse apartment in the most expensive city in the world (or at least one of the most expensive per square meter to date) has to have a lot of credit in the account and a bullet in the needle to have this purchasing power.
My oh my.. . Christopher Reeve was so gorgeous. That shy smile he gave after telling Lois that she'd be the first to know if he had a girlfriend was just too adorable.
The super power Christopher Reeve gives to Superman is super humanity, his Superman is so human, so human that he can be human for the entire human race. No other actor could replicate that so far.
R.I.P. Margot Kidder, 1948-2018. She gave the best ever portrayal of Lois Lane IMHO.
Strider18967 your not alone
Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder have perfect chemistry. Best Superman and Lois Lane by far!
Henry Cavill and Amy Adams are great together too
@@manuelorozco7760 I'm sorry but nowhere close lol. Dean Cain and Terry Hatcher however were magic and came close to Reeve and Kidder.
1979
This and Superman 2 are the absolute best. Christopher and Margot really embodied these characters to perfection.
“Do you... eat?”
Damn Lois
*YOU WILL*
Connor Limes superman would eat lois out...
@@danat4914 😂😂😂
@@danat4914 Is that Batman vs Superman reference
Are big are you ? Do you like pink ?
I just love how, Lois Lane is this big time tough ass reporter with such a confident & cocky attitude...HOWEVER, right in this moment when she, “Spends The Night With Superman”, she just automatically becomes this little school girl with a huge crush and that tough exterior of hers just crumbles & falls down! She just becomes SO vulnerable!! I love it!!
It sort of helps to know Lois was being rude to Clark when he arrived to the Planet, but when Clark asked the chief to send money to his mother and Lois noticed he was being sincere, she started to behave better with him and even asked if Clark knew more people like himself. Since automatically Superman has this trait of caring for his mother, obviously Lois would fall for a caring, nice, respectfull and strong will man. Is a shame Superman has to behave like Clark Kent in front of her.
@@Yorcont Her relationship with the Clark persona, shows she's not suited for him, though he's already fallen for her. I like his high school crush, Lana Lang, in _Superman III._ She likes Clark, both as who he presents himself to be and who she remembers he was. So I guess I "ship" those two.
How is she vulnerable
Love from Canada....
Its amazing that this can bring us all together!
My gosh was he ever so handsome!! 😍❤️
she's so hot 😍
Lacy Warfield from Superman 4 was hot.
I Miss Superman.
We can't have a Superman like that in today's era. He'd be politically incorrect and a practical everything-phobe by today's standards. That vid there & then was more of a black-&-white era of what's bad & good. Today it is just shades of gray and what use to be bad or evil is now good. Sorry, bud. This Superman might never come back...
V47 that’s baloney.
V47 lol. then justice league came out.
Jody's Corner Yup. Finally Henry is that Superman. Can't wait to see him moving forward. Man of Steel 2 baby.
Andre Naylor WB will still find a way to ruin the character
I love the moment after he says “truth, justice and the American way” and Lois kind of scoffs at it. Her reaction is exactly how we as the audience would’ve if we were there. What he said is so naive and old school that we see it as super cheesy. But it’s just so earnest and good that it almost feels like an alien concept after how cynical we’ve become. Maybe I’m reading too much into it but still a detail I love
It doesn't surprise me even back then the "American way" part would get poked at. Dude is from another planet, his kindness extends beyond country borders after all. ;P
As a kid, I never caught the sexual innuendo of this scene! Jesus Christ Lois is basically throwing it at him from the second he sits down.
Lol I was the same way! 😂 I was born in 81 and watched this on VHS so many times but as a little kid I thought he was saying his name was Pink 🤣 I also didn’t get any of sexual innuendos or tension. I soooo overly get it now. I want this Superman to land on my balcony... if I had one 🤣
What woman wouldn’t want to have a night of passion with Superman?
Grease is the movie I watched recently after YEARS. I had NO idea how raunchy it was as a kid. WOW it's naughty.
@@ChefDuJour78 probably a lesbian
@@Stardust_7273 I was born in 82 and grew up watching Superman on VHS,too(and reading and collecting Superman comics along with other Super Hero comics).And yes,as an adult,it's very obvious and clear as day to anyone that Lois is basically throwing herself at him. I think she was pretty much in love with him from the moment she laid eyes on him!
Ha! Ha!
This is still one of the best scene among all the superman movies. I fell in love with both of them when I first watched the movie in the late 70's ! RIP both of You!
It was very endearing. Watching scenes from Superman II, she admits she was mean to Clark but not why. She doesn't say she loves him after he gives up his powers. Also, the idea she couldn't handle his secret at work, and had to be hypnotized to forget is disturbing. Jimmy learned his secret in _Supergirl._ Did he freak out and have to be kissed?
The strength of this scene is its humanity. Two people who clearly like each other, alone together for the first time. Full with all that awkward dialogue as they try to quell both their own nerves, and that of the person with them.
“ They just don’t write them like this anymore”.
I’m pretty willing to bet that in 1978 people were saying that about movies from the 40s and 50s.
Nope they didn't .. infact very few people were into cinemas in 40 s n 50s n my grandpa n his friends were more excited to see new techs in movies like close encounters of the third kind, poltergeist etc and considered them Superior to previous eras
@@mrt8944 bullshit, kiddo. There's a reason gone with the wind, wizard of oz and casablanca retain to this day cultural resonance that nothing from this movie's era can match. Hey, continue to lie about the personal experiences of your grandpa and his friends if you must, if you really need so badly to attach authority to your position. Have to say, though, it doesn't make you look good.
I dont think movies from the 40s even had voices
I'm willing to bet not as many as there are now.
Right? People always think the past is the best. I am fully sure that rose-colored glasses are a natural, yet invisible feature of the human body. But... it is true the Reeve is the best, hehehe
One of the greatest acting in film history. Every word, every glitter of the eyes... absolute talent.
The part where he leans in and looks at her with those intense blue eyes is wonderful.....a girl could get lost in those eyes...lol....Love this scene... "I like pink very much Lois"😊😛 Rest In Peace Christopher💜 and Margot ~
This scene is pure magic and quite frankly, I think this may be the perfect summary of Superman as a character
Classic scene. "I spent the night with Superman" :)
All these decades later and thus is still the best Superman movie/franchise ever made. The storylines, acting, and chemistry is as close to perfection as you could get. Of all the men on Earth, you couldn’t have picked anyone better to play Superman than Christopher Reeve. He didn’t play Superman, HE WAS SUPERMAN!
Fly high Christopher Reeve! ❤💙
I still miss you RIP Christopher Reeve!!😢
And Margot ☹️
😭😭😭😭
If only he didn't not ride a horse
😔
This scene is one of many reasons this movie is so magical.
I challenge any film producer/director to make a romantic Superman/Lois scene any better than this.
This superb clip from the original movie is the absolute gold standard for anyone to try and better it.
Somehow I don't think anyone will surpass it for a very long time, you cannot beat perfection.
around .40 secs that is just a beautiful shot of Reeve as Superman. Looks tall and fit and the costume looks great.
4:29 "Lois, I never lie." Best line of the movie. Should be quoted more often. Christopher Reeve IS THE MAN!
The ideal that, dare I say, we all wish we could live up to...
You mean the director did a good job making him redo scenes until it's good enough for the movie
Lol you kids don't know shit lol.
As of al actors do everything in one shot everytime lol
By your logic Tobey is the best spiderman why are people saying tom is when he isnt?
Lol
Just because Reeve is dead doesn't you have to be nice lol.
Osama bin laden is dead and nobody pulls off for what he planned for 9/11 lol.
Why aren't people respect him?
Lol death toll is no excuse lol
No, he is the SUPERMAN
He never lies except, you know, when he spends most of his time going around under an alter ego.
@@brainmind4070
He never outright tells people he's superman, but, he never lies about it.
This man set the bar WAY too high as Superman..
Lol, yeah he may have broken it.
Henry didn't even come close.
Tyler somewhat showed hints but still not enough
No disrespect to other actors who have attempted to play SM but Chris Reeve outshines them all. It just worked including his chemistry with the screen and Margot Kidder as Lois Lane. SM MUST be 6ft 4, to begin with. Not many actors could pull off wearing the SM costume including the eloquent way Chris worked this scene. The first SM movie was and remains the best.
@robert Johnson that and good director. Imagine if donner made 3 and 4?shame they never got married in movie
@@paulsmith9192 _Superman II_ wasn't hurt too much by Donner's firing; it was deleting/replacing Brando's scenes that hurt it. However _Superman III_ was a disaster (other than scenes with Lana) without him. We didn't need a Luthor wannabe but an antagonist like Brainiac or Bizarro.
Man, i cant put into words how perfect this scene is. Catches the essence of Superman perfectly. God i miss Christopher Reeve he is and will always be the GOAT.
The abrupt jump from "Lets start with vital statistics" to "Are you married? Do you have a girlfriend?" Is hilarious. The romantic chemistry they have is insane.
Is no one else going to talk about how ahead of their time this script and performances are? This is a beautiful example of understanding the source material, taking it seriously, and creating iconic cinema.
They were going for epic and delivered. If you haven't, you've got to see the deleted scenes of Brando/Jor-el in Superman II. Those scenes were worth the price of admission to a director's cut.
Absolutely not.
